President Delivers Independence Day Message to Vets at Celebrate Freedom Rally

Speaking before a crowd of veterans and evangelical Christians at the “Celebrate Freedom Rally,” President Trump delivered several newsworthy comments. Some were important and will therefore be ignored by the media. Others addressed the fake news, and will thus be focused on for weeks.

The speech, delivered at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts this 4th of July weekend, first and foremost honored our American heroes.

“We all bleed the same red blood,” Trump said, while defining America as “a land rich with heroes.”

President Donald Trump delivered an Independence Day address honoring American veterans — hundreds of whom came from the Washington, D.C. area to attend the “Celebrate Freedom Rally” at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

“America is a land rich with heroes,” said Trump at the event, which included wounded warriors who are patients at the Walter Reed Medical Center.

During his speech, the president personally saluted World War II veteran Harry Miller for his lifelong service and wounded warrior Luis Avila. Miller enlisted in the reserves at 15, even though he was not old enough to serve. He fought in Europe and in The Battle of the Bulge. Avila, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, was on a fifth deployment when he was wounded, losing his leg, during an intelligence reconnaissance mission.
